FW: [parisc-linux] How do I use the FW scsi on 735?

[Matthew van de Werken]

Hi Richard:

I'm a little bit of a beginner at all this kernel hacking business (well, a
rank beginner would be more accurate)...

What I'll do is turn on the verbose SCSI error reporting, and the SCSI
logging facility and try again.

I''l have to do a 'man printk' to have a look at what that function's syntax
is, then take it from there.

Cheers,
MvdW [who, despite lack of total success is having a lot of fun...]
